Failed to install geos-0.1.1.1 Build log ( /home/builder/.cabal/logs/ghc-8.2.2/geos-0.1.1.1-1fWzDSED3NSGDqOrepUsSt.log ): cabal: Entering directory '/tmp/cabal-tmp-2122/geos-0.1.1.1' Configuring geos-0.1.1.1... cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library: * Missing (or bad) header file: geos_c.h * Missing C library: geos_c This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is. If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages. cabal: Leaving directory '/tmp/cabal-tmp-2122/geos-0.1.1.1' cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: geos-0.1.1.1-1fWzDSED3NSGDqOrepUsSt failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1
